lentil soup

When the weather deities are playing tricks with spring, this is just the soup to chase the winter blues away. Easy peasy to make, flavourful, creamy, delicious, healthy, feelgoody, yet another soup favourite is this lentil soup ~

4 portions

1 yellow or red onion
2-3 tbsp garam masala
1 cinnamon stick
3 tbsp rapeseed oil
200 g yellow or red lentils
1 tin crushed or sieved tomatoes
5-8 dl vegetable bouillon, depending on how thick you want the soup
salt, black pepper (and a dash honey if you like)
(sprinkle with chopped parsley or mint)

Chop the onion and fry it with garam masala, cinnamon stick and oil in a big saucepan on medium heat for a few minutes. Make sure it doesn't burn. Add the lentils and stir. Pour the crushed or sieved tomatoes and the bouillon in the pan and let it simmer under lid for about 20 minutes until the lentils are soft. Season with salt, pepper and a dash of honey. Enjoy!
